These roles are essential for upholding research quality and ensuring the integrity of scholarly discourse, yet current academic reward structures often overlook their value. ASSAf highlights the need for university and science council administrators to formally acknowledge and support editorial work, proposing specific recommendations to enhance recognition within performance appraisals. By strengthening the recognition of these roles, ASSAf aims to sustain a credible and effective scholarly publishing ecosystem that supports knowledge dissemination and contributes to national and global research development.Item ASSAf STEM Position Paper(Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf), 2011) Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf)Item Building Resilience to Disasters of Natural and Technological Origin(G-Science Academies, 2012) G-Science AcademiesItem A Call for Action to strengthen Health Research Capacity in Low and Middle Income Countries(The Interacademy Medical Panel, 2013) The Interacademy Medical PanelItem A Call for Action to Tackle the Growing Burden of Dementia(InterAcademy Partnership for Health, 2018-07-05) InterAcademy Partnership for HealthItem Climate Change(G8+5 Academies, 2009) G8+5 AcademiesItem Climate Change and Biodiversity: Interlinkages and policy options(Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf)– as part of the InterAcademy Partnership (IAP), 2021-08-10) IAP the InterAcademy PartnershipItem Commonwealth Academies Statement on Climate Change, Biodiversity and Sustainable Energy(Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf), 2020) Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf)Item Commonwealth Science Academies Consensus Statement on Climate Change(Commonwealth Science Academies, 2018-03-12) Commonwealth Science AcademiesItem Crises – economy, society, law, and culture(SSH20 Academies Joint Statement, 2021-08-10) SSH20 Academies Joint StatementItem Data for international health emergencies: governance, operations and skills(Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf) & G7 partners, 2021-03-31) Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf) & G7 partnersItem Driving Sustainable Development(G-Science Academies, 2013) G-Science AcademiesItem Drug Resistance to Infectious Agents – A Global Threat to Humanity(G-Science Academies, 2013) G-Science Academies
